About the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X45CA
Delivering 39.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless-steel mini cylinder handles compact actuation where space is tight. The Ø10 mm bore uses an M5x0.8 air port and an M4x0.7 male rod thread. Its stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown, outperforming painted aluminium in damp environments. Because the 39.3 N rating leaves a margin, plan for roughly 24 N of actual work, letting you lift about 2 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety factor.
Built to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions, the round riveted body drops directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises. This specific SKU features a CA rear pivot cover for angled articulation and includes fixed TPU bumper pads that decelerate the stroke end. Note that this base configuration lacks a magnet, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors without upgrading to an -S variant.

Where the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X45CA Is Used
Electronic Component Sorting
Pushes small electronic chips down a testing lane with a precise 45 mm travel, utilising the 39.3 N thrust to index parts reliably without crushing them.
Carton Flap Folding
Folds lightweight cardboard flaps on a packaging line where the CA pivot clevis accommodates machine frame misalignment during the 45 mm stroke.
Lab Sample Diverting
Actuates a tiny diverter gate for specimen tubes, taking advantage of the stainless steel construction to withstand daily chemical washdowns.
Is the Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X45CA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 45 mm stroke actuator, compare it against its neighbours: the Ø8 bore offers a lighter 25.1 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the Ø12 bore increases thrust to 56.5 N. If your mechanism loses air or the valve centres, this cylinder will drift and cannot hold position, as the TPU bumpers only soften end-of-stroke impacts rather than acting as a brake. To suspend a load securely, add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. Furthermore, if your cycle requires position feedback, select the -S magnet option to enable switch sensing.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Back cover (CA/U/R/CM) & mount (LB/FA/SDB/TC)
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Do not dismantle the riveted front/back covers.
- check Use correct back cover (CA/U/R/CM) & mount (LB/FA/SDB/TC).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac MI8~12 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MI10X45CA FAQ
This double-acting cylinder features an M5x0.8 port and generates 39.3 N push / 33 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 55 N push / 46.1 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 8 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, its Ø10 mm round body conforms to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions for easy bracket fitting. However, this specific SKU lacks a magnet, so you must choose an -S variant to use CMSG, DMSG or EMSG magnetic switches.
